Alibaba took off long before Mayer arrived. Regardless of financial improvements, the products have seen more innovation than the previous 10 years. I now have 3 Yahoo apps on my phone! Some improvements have been for the better, some for the worse, but she seems to have at least broken the "do nothing" attitude at Yahoo previously.

- wlesieutre 12y agoYahoo Weather is popular one (and an Apple Design Award winner). There's a pretty big set, most of which I've never tried. From a quick search: Yahoo, Mail, News Digest, Finance, Messenger, Weather, Sports, Fantasy Sports, Cricket, and Screen. Then there's the Yahoo owned services like Flickr, if you want to count them. Edit: I just installed Yahoo Weather, and it's great. It uses photos to represent weather conditions at each of your saved locations, which are all pulled from Flickr. I doubt it has photos specific to every weather condition in every location, but I got them for all the locations I tried. And the animation in the interface (parallax scrolling between locations, spinning windmills for windspeed, and maybe more I didn't notice) is smooth and well done. Pulling up a weather app and seeing a local landmark with a cloudy sky in the background is a really neat user experience, so props to Yahoo on successfully integrating Flickr with this. I like it a lot.
